Sadly, arriving with me came a blanket of clouds and we never saw the moon. It would have been beautiful, too. Beverly said, "I'm totally going to have a fit if the moon doesn't show," and it showed, but we couldn't see it. So I doctored a moon for her.
It was a wonderful night for a moonrise, and we were all ready to dance. Instead, we got left over holiday food (thanks Dr. Hannafin and the GSEAP department party for leaving leftovers) and a few minutes of The Grinch starring Jim Carey.
It's all luck. I saw beautiful photos from Tennessee and was jealous that they had clear skies for the occasion. I looked to Syracuse, too, and saw their skies were open. Nope, not us on the Long Island sound.
At one point, Pam found a photo of the moon and held it up for Bev to see. "Use your imagination, Bev. Come on. This is what it would look like."
Ah, but the only entertainment was from another gruntled customer who gave up waiting for the clouds to depart, so he hovered away on his disco-lit hover-board along the Walnut Beach pier. There's always next year! We have something to look forward to.
